SM,
You too have been a special joy to have on this blog. I like the way that you seem to be so calm as you discuss things that are clear to you but not to clear to others.

The issue of submission and authority in marriage has not been one that I wanted to discuss, but I truly have learned from all of the comments here. I was away celebrating our 38th wedding anniversary. It is by the grace of God that we survived the years as comps to live out our remaining years as two people who honor Christ’s command for mutual submission. Changing from the overweighted responsibility on my husband’s shoulders to mutual accountability has brought mutual respect and mutual joy.
